An Exceptional Detached Period Residence Opposite Victoria Park, originally constructed in the 1930'S, this distinguished detached period home has been sympathetically extended and comprehensively refurbished by the current owners. The property now presents as a superb family residence, combining classic architectural character with high-quality modern finishes. With brick and part-rendered elevations beneath a tiled roof, the house offers approximately 3,300 sq. ft. of beautifully proportioned and light-filled accommodation, retaining a wealth of original features throughout. The property demonstrates excellent environmental credentials, benefitting from 17 solar panels, a battery storage system, and an electric vehicle charging point, significantly enhancing its energy efficiency and sustainability.
The ground floor has been designed to provide both flexibility and an excellent flow of space. The welcoming entrance hall, featuring a striking staircase rising to the first floor, sets the tone for the accommodation beyond. To the front, there are two principal reception rooms: an elegant drawing room with a limestone feature fireplace, and a comfortable sitting room ideal for informal family living.
At the heart of the home lies the impressive kitchen/breakfast room, comprehensively fitted with an extensive range of contemporary wall and base units, Quartz work surfaces, and high-quality integrated appliances. A large central island provides additional workspace, storage, and a wine chiller, making this an ideal space for both daily use and entertaining. The kitchen opens through to a dining room, which in turn leads to the 20 ft. garden room, enjoying views and access to the rear garden. Additional accommodation on the ground floor includes a boot room with external access, a cloakroom/laundry room, and a spacious study or gym, providing versatility for modern family needs.
The first floor is approached via two staircases and is arranged around a generous central landing. There are five well-proportioned bedrooms, three of which benefit from fitted wardrobes. The principal bedroom suite features a bay window with views over Victoria Park, a stylish en-suite shower room, and a dressing area. The remaining bedrooms are served by two modern family bathrooms and a separate cloakroom. A substantial loft space provides excellent potential for conversion, offering the possibility of creating two further en-suite bedrooms (subject to the necessary consents).
The property occupies a prominent position directly opposite Victoria Park, set behind established hedged and fenced boundaries which provide a high degree of privacy. A generous driveway offers ample off-road parking for multiple vehicles and leads to a large double garage. The front garden has been attractively landscaped for ease of maintenance, with well-stocked shrub borders enhancing the home's kerb appeal. The rear garden is particularly noteworthy, divided into two distinct areas: the main section is laid predominantly to lawn with structured borders and a paved terrace ideal for alfresco dining and entertaining, while beyond an established hedge lies a secondary, secluded garden featuring mature planting and a tranquil seating area. The gardens are of excellent size and provide further scope for individual landscaping or extension, offering the opportunity for the next owners to create their ideal outdoor environment.
